Use the car regularly. No rats can survive in a hot engine.
I use my car every single day to very long distances. No change.

Rat does not live in car engine, they will go there to warm themselves in the night and will start eating wires.
What you need to do is to buy indo seed capsules, pour out the powder from the capsules and mix it with a piece of fish.
After mixing them thoroughly, place small parts of it in different places withing the engine.
They won't survive it

Lock a cat inside the engine for one day. Thank me later.
What if the rats kill the cats? There is a reason you don't find cats in places like Surulere anymore. The size of rats here is not a child's play.

You are wrong in saying MIX RODENT.

The rat itself is the RODENT.

Say mix RAT POISON with dried fish and put in all corners of your environment and inside the car.

Buy charcoal and place it at strategic points in the car. Rats can smell the charcoal and will be fooled into thinking that the place is burning.

They will not return. I had a similar issue last year while in Nigeria. I saw a post here and did the same thing.

Correct.

bro I would have challenge your claim but I remember when I work in an eatery! I saw rats as big as cat, the funniest thing is they don't gear anybody, you dere not kill them because they way they eat food is scary, they will open coke or fanta and drink like normal human, you will see crates of eggs intact, by the time you raise it up, rats must have drill hole under it and consume the entire content. The worst is they will fetch raw rice and went with it on thier head! E shock you?

Take your time and get a strong rat poison every evening when you park, take your time and mix the poison with sardine , the smell of the sardine will attract them and they will eventually it the poison.

Do this on a daily for a couple of days and you will get a good result 11

I am telling you that you will hardly see cats in Surulere and Aguda precisely. If you see the size of the rats here ehn, let alone the way they move with so much speed and force, omo, two of such rats will kill and devour a cat effortlessly. These vermin's chew through Aluminum! Even Iron!!

It's the long parking of the car without use that attracts the rats Just use the car every everyday. Make sure the engine is warm before you go to bed. The rats will fine another place to spend the night.

Are you serious?

These ideas seem nice on the surface. As any one thought about what could happen if the sniper fumes gets into the car while driving? You wan pursue rat, no go kill person.
As for the charcoal be careful where you place it in the engine compartment before you start a fire in your engine.
Re: How Can I Get Rid Of Rats In My Car Engine? by kelz2205: 1:03am On Oct 24, 2021
Buy those peletised rat poisons, impress them on thin chunks of bread and keep at strategic places inside the engine bay, make sure to put a few at areas with plenty droppings... u can use fresh cabbage petals too

Should clear out within a few days.. good luck.

Get a rat poison and keep for them to feed on

If you park near a gutter, you will experience it

If you park near dustbin, the worst of it

If you park for long time, you have given the rat a permanent home

it's possible. Especially when you parked the car for long, it has nothing to do with cleanliness. These guys will always find their way in.
